That is why everyone's health should be personalized.
Join Whitney Lauritsen as she talks to Dr. Ibby Omole, a licensed naturopathic doctor and acupuncturist, about understanding your body and what diet works for you. Learn more about personalized health, and discover why we need to embrace change in our diet. Finally, find out what it's like to be a black woman in a "white profession." Listen in to Dr. Ibby's journey and what preconceived systems need to change.
